Hi guys! I would really appreciate an evaluation of my profile for admission to following schools (courses):
- St. Gallen (MiM)
- HEC Lausanne (Msc. in Management)
- University of Mannheim (MiM)
- WHU Beishem (Msc. in Management)
- HHL Leipzig (Msc. in Management)
Profile:
- Male, 25, Indian
- GMAT: 690 (Q49,V35)
- Education:
=> Diploma in Marketing Management from NMIMS (Currently Pursuing)
=> Bachelor in Technology from Mumbai University (Graduated in 2013)
- Extracurriculars:
=> Served in a Not-for-profit organization called AIESEC for 3 years; wherein I started as a new recruit and ended my experience as the president of the office in Mumbai.
=> Handled responsibilities such as project management, business operations, sales & marketing, recruitment and organizational governance.
=> Managed large teams and the entire local office eventually of ~80 members.
=> Currently serving as a mentor for underpriviliged youth in a Mumbai based NGO
- Full Time Work experience:
=> Worked for a global digital advertising agency as a business operations & sales executive for around 2 and half years
=> Got promoted within 12 months of joining to a Sr. Executive and handled the largest projects for the company at the time (Annual Projections worth over $5million)
=> Played a key role in product development, training, recruitment & mentorship for new joinees, besides my primary job role.
- Languages: Native English, Native Hindi (Plan to learn German in the coming few months; A1 & A2)
- International experience: No work experience. However, was selected by the international committee of AIESEC to be a part of the International Congress in 2013, which was hosted by Egypt and represented by over 130+ nations.
I know that schools in Germany & Switzerland require a prior degree in business for the program I have selected. In this case, will my work experience in business operations throughout my professional career help? Also, the reason for me to choose tech for my undergraduate program was so that I could work in the tech industry and understand the operations of the industry better. If not, does that mean an MBA is the only option for me?
Additionally, I am not confident in my score and I am currently studying towards a target of 740 (Which I happened to score in my GMAT Prep mocks). My current financial situation is not the best and will need financial aid for my education. Does my current profile stand a chance to receive scholarships in any of these schools?
I desperately am searching for some advice. Any help?

Hi AKuks,
First off, a 690/Q49 is a strong score (it's just a bit below the 90th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. You're ultimately asking Admissions questions though, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
